Armour at Hamilton Airport
Just a question to throw out...
I was at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum show on the past weekend for the amazing aircraft show (love the Lanc and DC-3 flying together) and when I was walking through the hanger to the tarmac I noticed a peice of armour. I am not sure what the peice was and it did not have a sign to ID it, if anyone knows what it is could you please let me know. It was tracked and roughly the same size as my old carrier but the seating arangment was two in front of the engine inline. Armour was a bit lower and the armour to side was a much greater distance at the front tappered wider to the rear. It had a inline 6 in it and apperantly still ran (gas can gerry rigged to the carb). I couldn't see any markings on it and really wanted to climb in and investigate, but getting the boot while trying to take my old air force dad to a show wouldn't be right on fathers day would it? But at best geuss it was the same engine that was in the weasel. Anyhow enough ranting, if anyone knows please fill me in, thanks.

weasel
No not you Fish. You wer looking at an American weasel I believe M29. These were a vehicle used especially in the Arctic by them, we may have used as well. Have seen a few in USAF markings before.

Did it look anything like this?  Source: http://www.m29cweasel.org/ The M29 Weasel is unarmoured, though. Regards, Hanno

thanks, I do think that was the beast. I have seen a few weasels before but this one must be, (as Chris stated) modified for the artic cause it just didn't look right to me. Well I guess that is an excellent explination for the weasel engine eh.
Thanks guys ... now, how do I get it from them... Brad D aka Fish the deuce guy
